Heat Dominates Pacers in Game 3

Sunday night was supposed to be an exciting night for everyone who bet on sports. The Heat and the Pacers have had a tight battle for the first two games of the series wherein the Pacers took one win in the Heat’s turf. The third game was only expected to be big for anyone betting on sports.

It seems, however, that the Pacers lost their playbook on the plane going home to Indiana. They were not able to consistently play the defense that they are known for. However, as much as the defense was to blame, the offense was the bigger issue.

On the offense, they were lazy on running plays that would put the ball on the hands of either David West or Roy Hibbert in the low post.

Domination. It’s the perfect word that describes what the Miami Heat did to the Indiana Pacers in the third game of the eastern conference finals. The Heat controlled the pace of the game from the start to end. The Pacers found some fight in them during the third quarter where they were able to close the gap within 6 points. However, they weren’t really able to find consistent offense. After a timeout by Heat coach Erick Spoelstra, they pulled ahead and widened the gap to a more comfortable lead that reached over 20 points.

As per the norm, Lebron James played impressively in the game. However, the ones who made the difference in the game were Mario Chalmers who was aggressive in cutting and taking the ball to the basket and Udonis Haslem who shot pretty well from the floor.
